Twenty years ago this past February, Kevin Marks and I introduced #microformats in a conference presentation.
Full post: https://tantek.com/2024/044/t1/twenty-years-microformats
Aside: This is an even shorter summary of that post from ~200 days ago, which #Mastodon readers never got due to a Mastodon #federation bug (details in https://tantek.com/t5Yo1).
Since early 2023, here are the top three updates & interesting developments in microformats:
1. Growing rel=me adoption for distributed verification (✅ in Mastodon etc.)
* Wikipedia, Threads, omg.lol
2. Proposal to merge #microformats2 h-review into h-entry, since in practice (e.g. on #indieweb) reviews are just entries with a bit more.
3. #metaformats adoptions, implementations, iteration

Aside: This is a summary of a longer post from ~200 days ago¹, which #Mastodon readers never got due to a Mastodon #federation bug (instances returned 202 for post inbox delivery, but did not show post to followers or on local profiles, details in https://tantek.com/t5Yo1).
I wrote a retrospective last year: https://tantek.com/2023/047/t1/nineteen-years-microformats
Since then, here are the top three updates & interesting developments in microformats:
1. Growing rel=me adoption for distributed verification (✅ in Mastodon etc.)
* Wikipedia, Threads, omg.lol support
2. A proposal to merge #microformats2 h-review into h-entry, since reviews are in practice (e.g. on the #indieweb) always entries with a bit more information.
3. #metaformats adoptions, implementations, and iteration

Twenty years and two days ago, @KevinMarks.com (@KevinMarks@xoxo.zone @KevinMarks) and I introduced #microformats in a conference presentation.
I wrote a long retrospective last year: https://tantek.com/2023/047/t1/nineteen-years-microformats
Since that post nearly a year ago, here are the top three updates & interesting developments in microformats:
1. Growing rel=me adoption for distributed verification (✅ in Mastodon etc.)
* Wikipedia: https://tantek.com/2023/139/t1/wikipedia-supports-indieweb-rel-me
* Threads: https://tantek.com/2023/234/t1/threads-supports-indieweb-rel-me
* omg.lol profile links by default: https://home.omg.lol/info/profile-items
2. A proposal to merge h-review into h-entry, since reviews are in practice always entries with a bit more information:
* https://github.com/microformats/h-entry/issues/32
3. #metaformats adoptions, implementations, and iteration
* There was growing practical interest in metaformats, so I updated the spec accordingly
* A half dozen implementations shipped: https://indieweb.org/metaformats#IndieWeb_Examples
* Active discussion for evolving metaformats to support more real world use-cases: https://github.com/microformats/metaformats/issues
Hard to believe it’s been 20 years of iterating and evolving microformats, to #microformats2, growing adoption as #IndieWeb building blocks, distributed verification (those green checkmarks) in #Mastodon and across the #fediverse, and implementing metaformats parsing to standardize parsing various meta tags for link previews into equivalent microformats2.
From last year’s activity, it’s clear there’s more use-cases, implementer interest, and community activity than ever. Looking forward to seeing what we can build in 2024.

Introducing #metaformats (https://microformats.org/wiki/metaformats), an extension to #microformats2 for parsing invisible data published in HTML meta tags, for backward compatibility with existing vocabularies consumed by multiple testable interoperable implementations.
